In particular # you should know that NFS uses portmap! ALL: ALL --------------------end -------------------------- The above /etc/hosts.deny file says deny everything which is not specifically allowed in /etc hosts.allow ------------------ start ---------------------------- # # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # desoto ALL: 123.123.36.72 ALL: 123.123.36.177 ALL: 127.0.0.1 ALL: 123.123.22.* --------------------end -------------------------- The above hosts.allow file allows a node named desoto and two nodes known by their IP address in. Also the loopback is allowed so you can talk to yourself. Desoto can be in your /etc/hosts. It also allows any node on the 123.123.22 subnet in.
